'Why should young people have to beat an algorithm?’ Molly Russell, Meta, and the fight against online harm
As a new documentary tells the story of the teenager, who took her own life in 2017, her father, her friends and the film’s director talk about the unchecked power and threat of social media
Kriszta SatoriSafety campaigners believe there are significant loopholes in Ofcom's code on illegal content, including a lack of specific rules on live streaming or content that promotes suicide and self-harm. And the new codes of practice, which are still being worked on, won't apply to private messaging.

alecmA turf war between people who want to ban social media for teenagers vs: those who want it regulated to the point of Orwellian surveillance — there can be only one!
Pardon the Highlander reference, but I never thought I’d encounter a drama* of child safety activists, so mutually exclusive in their approaches that each cannot allow the other to exist.
On one side the Ghey followers, seeking outright bans on phone & social media access, so post-Brexit children can enjoy the 1970s all over again.
On the other side the Russell team, who’d have nothing to regulate if the Ghey followers win; it’s interesting to see them minimising the Ghey proposals as-if they were intended to apply to schools only.
And of course in the meantime a socially aware and & technically informed government policy should be doing something like the Dutch are doing.

Heidi SumnerSo once again the UK Gov #OnLineSafetyBill is going to pull back from the reality of what is needed. For those scared to dumb down, be aware this is about lives. 4 children a week in the UK commit suicide, one of those has seen triggering material because algorithmns do not protect them but keep pushing them. #MollyRussell must not have died in vain.
